Body language

First impressions do count and our body is our most useful tool. Body Language is a practical guide to using this tool to achieve greater professional and social success. Starting with the basic vocabulary of unspoken language, or "bodytalk", the book looks at how to make initial contact with others and establish good communication. It discusses how to make an impact at social events, how to get time alone, and how to analyze what others are thinking and feeling. This is followed by a chapter on intimate relationships, looking at what draws people together and how body language can move a relationship forward. The workplace is also analyzed and discussed-how your body language can help you succeed in your career goals and how you can appear confident, competent, and efficient before you've even said a word. The final section of the book is a quick reference visual dictionary showing a variety of key gestures and signals and how they can be interpreted.--From publisher's description.
